Delta County Airport (ESC/KESC) is a public regional airport about two miles northwest of downtown Escanaba, Michigan, on the Upper Peninsula. It opened in the early 1940s and today provides Essential Air Service links to major hubs, serving as a gateway to Little Bay de Noc, Hiawatha National Forest, and the central UP. The airport has a compact terminal, paved runways, and generally easy access from US-2/US-41.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal is small and parking is close, but TSA security may operate only around scheduled departures; arrive at least an hour early and check flight status before leaving, especially during UP winter weather.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from downtown Escanaba via US-2/US-41 and local roads, so a car, taxi, or prearranged ride is the most practical option. Public transit to the terminal is limited or unavailable, and rental car availability may be limited, so arrange ground transport before arrival. In winter, allow extra time for lake-effect snow and icy roads.
